ArticlePublisher: Thousand Oaks : SAGE, January 2007Administration & Society 38, 6, p. 709-728Abstract: Scholars often offer ideas for public administration focusing on the changing relationships between public and private sectors. These ideas have grown into discourses including the new public management and others. Scholars also tend to differ in their view of what public administration should be, fostering conflict. If one considers these discourses collectively through the lens of managing resources in a blurred environment, it can provide a space for meaningful discussions to emerge. One then might reshape a civic space that engages new public management, governance, and others collaboratively employing usufruct to focus this discussion given the emergence of postmodern conditions
